Perhaps it comes as little surprise that Cardiff won't find a 'replacement' for Sala in the remaining days of the January transfer window.

The club had worked so hard to secure his signature for a record £15million and Warnock admitted he would struggle to find anyone better. Brazilian Wesley Moraes, who plays for Club Brugge, was a target, among others, but in likelihood it's not going to happen.

The Arsenal game did at least suggest Cardiff's current crop of strikers can cause problems, though it also highlighted how threadbare the squad is in other areas.


Warnock would desperately like a right-back, someone who can play in a back five or back four, with Paterson's skills better used going forward than back.

Midfield cover is also an essential in the next day or two. Victor Camarasa's absence meant Cardiff had no other options in the middle of the park, even if Joe Ralls enjoyed arguably his best performance of the season.

These transfers could make or break the Bluebirds' season, prove the difference between staying up and going down.

FOREVER BLUE
i agree that if we get players in or not this is going to define our season but neil did' nt seem all that bothered which alarmed me, because its looking pretty much like he may retire at the end of the season and if we are relagated to the championship i fear we will struggle without him, so all the more reason to fight tooth and nail to stay up this season and rebuild in the prem rather than freefalling in the championship.

To be fair. He probably wouldn't want to give away too much either. Firstly not want to look overly desperate and secondly not knock his own players confidence at a desperate time. Sala. And even Bennett losing his father. The camp is fragile. He knows what he needs. But he will also keep pushing his trusted troops on.

What Warnock says and what he does isn't always the same thing. I'd bet if he can get a striker he will. For me I'd rather get a right back and a defensive mid now we have Niasse in an then a striker.
